Fetal heartbeat is after 5 or 6 weeks gestation. A woman would typically not think they are pregnant until 3 or 4 weeks gestation, maybe even as long as six, since a missed period is the only sign most would experience. If a pregnancy occurred soon after their most recent period, they could already be 3 weeks pregnant at the time they are expecting the next period. Another week of waiting would probably occur before getting a pregnancy test, so unless a woman rushes right out to get an abortion as soon as they know they are pregnant, there is a high probability that a heartbeat will be detectable at the time they are about to get an abortion. Bottom line, this law eliminates most abortions in Texas!
That's awesome! I think a requirement for an ultrasound, for the health of the mother, of course (wink), would also be a good thing. Too many women don't even realize there is a tiny little human with all the body parts clearly visible in an ultrasound after about 10 weeks. After seeing those images, it would be a pretty cold woman who would still go through with the abortion.
Eventually. Be patient. The commies implemented gun control by incremental measures and succeeded in nearly erasing the 2nd Amendment in some states. The red states are doing the same with abortion and with the aim of abolishing it.
I hate it too. It's just the unfortunate reality of this fallen world.

Finally some common sense abortion control
Let's hope it spreads.

How about banning it altogether?
